This weekend, the University of New Hampshire in Manchester's Brick and Mortar Theatre Group will condense the six films of the Star Wars Saga into a two-hour stage performance. This abridged version (the group has also done similar homages to Harry Potter and Twilight) focuses on major plot points, with doses of humor and drama; with money raised going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
